Hi Dianna,
I'm sorry this didn't work for you. I did this earlier in the week and had no
problem. Here is exactly what I did.
In JAWS, I opened the JAWS dictionary.
I tabbed to "add an entry.
In the field for the word or phrase, I typed "JAWS for windows is ready"
without the quotation marks.
I tabbed once to the next field and entered the message I wanted to hear on
JAWS start up.
Then I tabbed to "ok".
When I closed the menu, I answered yes to the "save changes to default prompt".
As others have said, you can add a sound to your message, but I just kept it
simple.
HTH
Blessings.
Lynn I

This has been covered already, but I'll repeat it anyway. The easiest
way to change the JAWS start-up message is to use the Dicttionary Manager.
Follow these steps:
1. Go to the JAWS Utilities menu and select Dictionary Manager.
2. Hit Space on the Add... dialog to select the Add Dictionary Definition
dialog.
3. In the Actual Word field, type "jaws for windows is ready." exactly as
it appears in quotes.
4. In the Replacement Word field, type the phrase you would like to hear
instead. For example, you could type in something like, "Hurray!! JAWS 10 is
good to go!!".
5. If you wish, you can also add a sound to play along with the phrase by
choosing a sound from the list of provided sounds.
6. Tab to Okay and hit Space.
7. Close the Dictionary Manager, and reply with Yes when prompted to save
changes. Now, whenever you turn on your computer or launch JAWS manually, you
will hear the new phrase you just created instead of "JAWS for Windows is
Ready".

Hi Stephen, I have instructions on changing how jaws starts. When
ever I get a new version I change the announcement to say what version it is,
the time, date and I have even added in a few other things. Like Hello Shannon.

off list, just let me know.
Shannon
